I need to get into this building. Next to the only door is a keypad with a simple 10-key numeric keypad.
I hear someone approaching so I hide in a nearby bush to observe.
They walk up to the door, pull out a piece of paper and start alternating between looking down at the paper and pushing buttons which causes the keypad to beep.
I listen closely and hear them push buttons in this alternating pattern:
beep beep-beep beep beep-beep beep beep-beep
They reach for the door as they push the last two buttons and I'm able to see that they push 1-2.
They hurry inside the door and in their haste they drop the paper. I wait a minute and then go pick it up and read the following:

Is your set of beeps the full set or do the 1-2 come after?

My thought process
Six sets of beeps or beep-beeps corresponds to six words in THE KEY TO UNLOCK THE BOX. The person looks down for every set which implies they have worked something out from each word. Here the key is that BOX = 12 (1-2 in a beep-beep format)
Drawing on that and adding in quite a bit of guesswork:
Adding the values of BOX together in scrabble gives you 12 so then we have:
THE = 6
KEY = 10
TO = 2
UNLOCK = 12
THE = 6
BOX = 12
So my answer is
6,1,0,2,1,2,6,1,2
